Microarray gene function

Demand for these tools is being driven by the need to identify genetic polymorphisms that may be associated with disease, as well as gene functions in human, animal, and microorganism genomes. The DNA microarray technology can be used to identify pathogens,... 

The MIAME standard was created by the Functional Genomics Data Society, formerly known as the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society (http // www.mged.org), as an effort to provide standards to specify all the information necessary to describe and interpret unambiguously the results of a microarray experiment (74). The standard defines the contents required for compliance reports but it does not specify the format in which this data should be presented. As a consequence there are a number of different file formats for representing this data, and each public and subscription database has adopted its own format.
